Your staff who help our community are dedicated and marvellous people. We have found Nurse Maude to be a wonderful service.
Stomal Therapy
Information, advice, and support are available if you have or are expecting to have a stoma. Stomal therapy supports you to live with a stoma independently, comfortably, and with dignity.
The comprehensive service includes education prior to surgery, visits (in hospital and at home after discharge), arranging ostomy equipment, appliances, and/or stomal supplies, clinics for regular checks and assessments, access to a dietitian, and referral to other health professionals and agencies.
Specialist Wound Clinic
Nurses assess, manage, and advise on chronic, complex wounds and leg ulcers in our specialist wound care clinics. They also provide care plans, follow-up, and prevention programmes such as compression hosiery. A dietitian is available if required.
We also provide consultation advice to GPs, community and practice nurses, rest homes, and private hospitals
Continence Service
We provide support, assessment, treatment, and education for anyone over four years of age with a continence issue, including difficulty getting to the toilet on time, frequent visits to the toilet, bladder leakage when coughing, sneezing or exercising, or bowel leakage.
